The Inclusion Games: An Accessibility Challenge!
The Games are over but feel free to use this as a resource. The Accessibility Challenge will run again in Spring 2024.
Attention faculty! We're challenging you to up your accessibility skill level.
Creating accessible Distance Education courses is all about making distance learning inclusive for everyone, not just those with disabilities. Our daily challenge is here to help you learn easy tips and tricks to make your courses more accessible for all learners. With nine exciting challenges and a grand finale, you'll have fun while making your content more inclusive. Plus, each challenge you participate in gets you a chance to win some awesome prizes! And the best part? You can complete as many or as few of the daily challenges as you like, so join us for a fun and rewarding journey to make learning accessible to everyone. The estimated time per challenge is around 20 minutes, so it won't take up too much of your day. Let's make education accessible and enjoyable for everyone!
Did we mention prizes? For each challenge you complete, you will be entered into a drawing for a prize. The Challenge is open on May 8th and runs through May 19th.

Oh, wait, we did mention prizes, didn't we?!
Ok, no money, but hey life wouldn't be complete without teacher tech toys to help your Zooming (or teaching) experience be a little bit lovelier! We will be giving out prizes and winners can pick from the following:
- How about an amazing ring light for perfect Zoom lighting? Are you tired of being in the dark? Do your students squint their eyes when they look at you? If so, this prize is for you!
- Wait for it... bling, bling, bling! Are you tired of all the boring, repetitive Zoom backgrounds? How about dressing things up a bit with Phopollo LED string lights? They're not only bright and fancy but they come with a color-changing remote controller. Your students will love them (maybe)!
- One more item–are you tired of borrowing stuff? Would you like your own handy-dandy headset complete with a microphone? If so, this prize is for you.
- Oh yeah, giant candy bars for over-achievers that finish all nine challenges!
Let the games begin!
